BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
Everyone Pleased that Hon. Jesse
Taylor has Settled Here
He and Phil Gibson
will Prosper.

General satisfaction was expressed at
the announcement in the TRIBUNE last
evening that Hon. Jesse Taylor had de
cided to settle here and had acquired a
half interest in the insurance agency and
real estate business of Phil Gibson. 1t is
known that Mr.. Taylor had strong in
ducements from capitalists to become In
terested in ether business enterprises, but
he preferred to be identified with the
growth of this city in whose advancement
he has the fullest confidence. 1t is under
stood that the arrangement came about
almost spontaneously and that MIR. Taylor
has acquired OF terms which are fair to
all parties an interest IN a large amount OF
real estate which will henceforth enhance
rapidly in value. 1t is the intention of
the firm to engage i'll large transactions
connected with the sale of lands and they
will act as agents in promoting the III
vestment of capital in town property,
ranches, and at times in cattle and sheep.
The partners in these respects will make
a streng business team. Mr.. Gibson is
we'll posted on the value of city property
and has at his fingers end the history Of
each lot in town and each ranch in the
~neighborhood. Mr.. Taylor has won sue
cess in large transactions connected with
cattle and land. AS Il member of the leg
islature he is widely known and much
esteemed throughout the territory. He is
a thorough western man in manner and
bearing and we'll calculated to inspire
confidence in people seeking profitable
investments. There is no better authority
on land or cattle in Montana than Mr..
TAYLOR. In Il short time he will have
formed connections with moneyed men
in the western and eastern states that will
result in considerable service to Montana
as well as large gains for the firm.
The insurance agency which Mr. Glib
son established when the town was young
has become one of the most fourishing
enterprises in this city. In the hands OF
the new firm it must prosper still more SO.
The insurable property in this city will
soon be in the millions and the bulk of
the business is certain to be done by this
firm, which represents some of the great
est American and British companies. The
record of this agency has SO far been
profitable as we'll as honorable to all con-
cerned. The losses have been trivial and
the settlements have been speedy and sat

school library, containing good, useful
books which the older pupils could read
while the younger scholars We're receiving
instruction. In some cases too, books
might be loaned with profit to studious
boys and girls, who would read them at
home. The friends of the school are pre-
pairing for a popular festival, to be given
some evening after the celebration, in or
der to raise the small sum needed for this
library. There will be no lack Of talent
as the purpose being non-sectarian and
non-partizan will command general sup
port. There are no public funds available
for this worthy object which has the APP
proval of all who take pride in our school
and desire to have the fountains of knew
ledge flow freely for the good boys and
girls Of the future great. Therefore, the
festival must be made a success.

hotel, Great Falls, is a guest in the city.

Mr.. HAIG, the new editor of the
Butte Miner, makes a bad beginning
when he prints such arrant nonsense
as the last sentence in the following:
Great Falls expects a boom in real
estate upon the advent of the Manitoba
railroad, about the 9th instant. The TRI-
BUNE states that OF the completion of the
road there "a large amount of business
property will change hands and various
new enterprises will be inaugprated here"
In the curse Of another month afterWard
Great Falls will only be a way station.
Mr. Haig should ask the opinion of
MIR. Larabie (the bankers brother,
who was recently in this city, on the
bright prospects of Great Falls as a
railroad center. He should also
ask the opinion of Hon. W. A.
Clark, who is a business man OF
high rank and great ability. He
should also see for himself the rail
road buildings, bridges and terminal
facilities which will be completed here
this year for the Montana Central and
Manitoba lines. The editor of a Mon
tana journal should know something
Of Montana.

The Celebration.

It is likely that Monday, the 18th, will
be the day fixed upon for the railroad cele-
bration as it is quite certain the end of the
track will be here by that time. On ac-
count of the delay by the storm and other
wise, a postpenement was necessary and
the committee will definitely fix the date
at its meeting this evening. Ample mott
~fcation will be given the public and it is
proposed to make it a gala occasion. The
Fort Shaw band has been secured, the
fire works are en- route and the general
work Of preparation is going on in good
style. The TRIBUNE will make further
and definite announcements on the subject

IT IS entertaining to read the com
ments of that weathercock, the Lon
don Times, on Irish rights. That
wicked, senile journal is simply at its
old game. It has resisted every great
reform, and during our civil war ex-
ulted at the supposed downfall of the
Union. 1t abused Lincoln and Sew
ard as it now abuses Gladstone and
Parnell. It published letters from
renegade Americans as it does now
from the almost extinct Goodwin
Smith. When home rule is gained,
in a year or two, the Times will bow
down before Gladstone as 1t did be-
fore Grant. That noble American.
Horace Greeley, repealed in 1872 the
offer OF an English friend who wrote
him that he would try to set the
Times right on the Liberal Republi-
can campaign. He knew that the
leopard could not change its spots,
and that, in any case, its support
would do him more harm than good.
THERE is an interview between <
Governor Pierce and Low-doWn-doe
going the rounds, which begins by
the Sioux chief inquiring: HAS the
great white chief a large hearth Has
he a heart as big as an ox?' The
former ruler of Dakota satisfies the
chief on that score, and the latter
proceeds to tell his troubles thus:
aThe white chief has sat in the back
room and played poker with the sup
erintendento OF public instruction from
Montana and learned that there are
five ace IN a pack Of cards, but the
poor, struggling aborigine has wan
dered sadly along the trail and failed
to discover the dead horse till decon-
position has SO far advanced that it
could only be eaten with pain and
misgiylng.n These may be the woes
Of the Indian, but the words are those
Of Carruth.

A REAL STEAMBOAT.
The Fern steams Proudly into Port,
Making a Successful
Trip.

Exactly at 2::2O P. NJ. Monday the long
expected steamer Fern sailed proudly into
Bsnadwater bay. She had. steam up and
the American flag flying. The Fern is /;
spacious boat which was built about two
years ago ut Townsend for the upper Mis-
souri,. Delays on the machinery have re-
tarded her visit, but she is nevertheless
welcome and will receive a cordial
greeting from the people rs the second
steamboat that has dtcended the Half
breed rapids 10 visit Great Falls. The
captain and crew of the gallant craft are
entitled to IA public welcome and will re-
ce;Ve it.
On arriving at the Hotter Lumber Com
pany's dock, doctor or, more properly,
captain Davidson received a cordial vel
co,ne from Paris Gibson and other
leading citizens. The Fern was soon
crowded with people who inquired eager
ly for details Of the voyage. The steamer
appeared to be in good trim considering
that she encountered some difficulties in
making the trip.
The Fern. which is the first large
steamer to descend the Missouri. is rs
feet long and 26 feet beam. She has a
5O-horse-power engine. Her hold is
spacious and she has two decks which
afford accommodation for passengers and
freight. The upper deck is provided
with seats for IS tn 100 people. In sum
mer time it wfll carry an awning. Wood
is now. used as fuel. but the furnaces are
adapted for coal as well. The crew com
prises captain Davidson and his fwo
sons. pilot Robert McDousall and ensin-
Ger Fred Tnurston, who formerly resided
here. Mrs. Davidson kept a log Of the
voyage and cared for the Young children
who made the voyage with her.
The lower deck of the Fern will be re-
pIanked and she will be put in goad trim
for the spring and sumtner traffic on the
Missouri. It is believed that she
would do a large business as an excursion
steamer during the summer months. but
her capacity for freight and general pas
senger business is also good.
It's observed that fhe Great Fails sea-
son of navigation is longer than that of
Benton which closed about a week ago
with the departure of the Missouri for
Bismarck. The arrivals here have been
only two-the Rose of Helena and the
Fern of Townsend-bnt this is gain of
200 per cent on last year.

A Sage Brush Liar,

The site of the old Consolidated Vir-
ginia mill is to be used henceforth as a
dump for waste rock, the mill having
been torn dswn and removed elsewhere.
Perhaps there is not another mill in the
wer d that has turned into the Golfers of
so many dollars as this one has.
Fr IN beneath its stamps Mackay picked
up, it is said, $50,0O0.00u, and Fair, Flood
and O'Brien each nearly as much Humid
reds of others were made enormously
rich ana thousands OF miners and en-
ployes have received excellent wages for
a number of years. Now the mill is pull
ed down and the site used for 4 waste
dump. ITO what base uses do we come
at last ??'-Reno Necada1 Gazette.

turned from Chicago, where he sold some
grade short horn cattle. Mr. Allen is an
enthusiastic raiser of s~horf-horns, and sub
mitted to US the following comparative
facts and figures to prove the value of this
stock, which would not bring any more
here than any others. It mus be taken
into consideration that Mr.. Aliens cattle
were all younger than his ~neighhor's,
which were shipped upon the Chicago
| market at the same time:
David r Rankin 81 head, average
weight 1879. price per hundred $3.50,
per head $500.
A. j. Daley 70 head, average weight
1927. price per hundred $3.50, per
head $500.
Sun Daley ii head, average weight
1903, price per hundred $40, per
b, ad $40.54.
N. Daley Gs head, average weight
1852, price per hundred 1910, per head
Sd. 65.
w. Lea So head. average weight
1920, price per hundred 1910. her head
$4,000.
In giving usthis comparative statement,
Mr.. Allen has no FAX to grind" as he has
no short-horns for sale; but it is solely to
show the advantages of this stock that he
has taken the trouble to secure these fig
ures. 1t is also due Mr.. Allen to state
that there were six steers of his shipment
tllat were not graded.
This proves. as We have always main
tanned, that the short-horns are the cattle
for this country; they are hardy, heavy
and improve Instead Of deterierating, as
is the case with other kinds of stock,
where the same bulls are kept year after
year.-Bozeman Chronicle.
